„Last week, after a slight delay, I got a super care package from my fellow SCAA Consumer Marketing Committee member Colleen Crosby of Santa Cruz Coffee Roasters in Cali: 2lbs of their roasted Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Organic Fair Trade coffee, and an unprecedented 5lbs of it green (note: they DO NOT sell green coffee, pls don't order any). The green was sent so we could do some private cupping for Colleen and ourselves (Aaron and I). Colleen also sent a very informative and sometimes sobering video that her company produced about the coffee crisis and what can be done.“

„In my old hometown of Santa Barbara, the now-defunct Espresso Roma on State Street used to be the best (and only) place in town for good espresso. For a good 3-4 year period they had quite a team of all-star baristas (including several of my good friends) and a faithful following. Then management changed and the resulting mass defection of said baristas ultimately led to its unfortunate and untimely demise.“

„A recent study conducted by students at the University of California-Santa Cruz found that the child malnutrition rates in the country's coffee regions are at 21 percent, compared to a national rate of nine percent. "When we say a coffee farmer is at risk, we're not just talking about the risk of losing their home," says Mike Maxey, Nicaragua's director for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). "We are talking about people who are starving. Seventy percent of the rural population is living on less than two dollars a day."“

„The poor Gourmet Espresso Tamper , which finished just about as low as it could possibly finish - every Baristi we polled ranked it last, except for one. Some questions have been raised in online forums and venues about the promotional material listed on the Gourmet Espresso Tamper's website, which claims several awards and notes of recognition for this tamper. Unfortunately, neither the CoffeeGeek website nor our assembled team of top flight Baristi and testers had anything good to say about it, except perhaps the tamper is a very early beginning - who knows if concave tamping will be good or not. Perhaps once this tamper is reshaped into something that professional Baristi can use (that is, a proper handle, getting rid of the faux diamond, and making it an accurate 58mm size), maybe the concave design will show us if it is capable of a more consistent tamp and shot production.“
